You can write dumptable to a function that does just that.= I would not clutter the language with it. Something like this when you pas=s in [db=3D]:

[function name=3Ddb_to_tab&scope==3Dglobal]

[!]THIS WILL NEED TO BE WRITTEN TO A FILE[/!]

[listfields db=3D[db]][hideif [index]=3D1][tab][/hideif][/listfields]

[search db=3D[unurl][db][/unurl]][!]

=C2=A0 [/!][founditem=s][interpret][[word]][/interpret][/listwords]

[/founditems][/sear=ch]

[/function]

Awesome! Can I add two more?

1) [dumptable table=3Dblah.tab&type=3Dtext/html]
Displays the contents of the table in either tab delimited format (handy in=side a [writefile]),
or an HTML table (all made by webdna of course)
Debugging tables can be a major pain sometimes, we need some help here.

2) Add an optional second line to the .hdr file defining per field in the s=ame
order as the field names, the field type (text/number/date/autonumber) sothat we don't have to spell it out with each and every search sort we w=rite.

Accounts.hdr
ID (tab) Adddate (tab) AddTime (tab) Name (tab) email (tab) zipcode
autonumber (tab) date (tab) time (tab) text (tab) text (tab) number

Thanks!
